					<description><![CDATA[      From the talented brother-sister duo of Stephen and Anita Mangan      comes this exciting fully illustrated festive adventure.]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>  </p>
<h3><strong>A high-energy, brilliantly silly, fully illustrated festive      adventure story by much-loved actor Stephen Mangan and talented      artist Anita Mangan.  </strong></h3>
<p>One of Santa&#8217;s reindeers, Dave, is FED UP.</p>
<p>He&#8217;s seething about having to spend Christmas stuck behind Rudolph,      who is forever droning on about his role as the Star of the      Show. Most of Santa&#8217;s OG Reindeer Crew (Blitzen, Prancer et al)      have retired or been fired in disgrace, leaving some rookie reindeers      to take the sleigh reins. </p>
<p><b>This Christmas Eve</b>, Dave      is behind Rudolph in the procession flying ahead of Santa&#8217;s sleigh,      and is the recipient of a fart-in-the-face that is the LAST STRAW.      He unclips Rudolph&#8217;s harness, and Rudolph blithely flies off,      monologuing away to himself. </p>
<p>Santa makes an emergency landing      on the roof of 9 year old Holly&#8217;s family, where her dad is wobbling      about on the roof trying to switch on the exterior Christmas      lights. The lights explode and blast the reindeers to far-flung      corners of the Earth. Holly must fly Dave around the globe <b>rescuing      the reindeer</b> from various outlandish situations &#8211; one      is on a beach in Tahiti and has no intention of putting down his      cocktail and working flat-out all Christmas eve, thank-you-very-much,      one is perched precariously on top of the Empire State Building,      one has landed slap bang in the middle of the icy Arctic, perilously      close to a very hungry polar bear. Rudolph has made it to      Las Vegas and has a sell-out one-reindeer show to put on. </p>
<p>Can      Holly and Dave work together to return the reindeers to Santa and      <b>SAVE CHRISTMAS?</b></p>
